"All you need is a compatible mobile and a 3 price plan to get started. "

Now suppose you do get a pay and go phone on Three, top it first time - how long does that top up last - some of these pay and go plans you need to keep in credit to keep using the phone?

three's own Skype client doesnt actually use your mobiles data connection on a 3 handset. You make a mobile phone call to a Skype gateway and from there it goes over the internet. as far as your mobile phone is concerned it is just making another voice call and not a data call.

So if you make a call from a 3 skype phone to a Vodafone with Skype installed on it, would there be a data use charge to the Vodafone person receiving the call?
